Discover Tours
Tours is one of the most important cities in the Loire Valley, a major cultural stop and the starting point of the Via Turonensis, the Jacobean route that begins in Paris. The city is linked to the figure of Saint Martin of Tours, whose tomb in the basilica is an important place of pilgrimage. Its majestic Cathedral of Saint-Gatien and its well-preserved old town (Vieux Tours), with its wooden-framed houses and lively Place Plumereau, are a must-see. For pilgrims, it's a monumental starting point for the route, allowing visitors to enjoy the art, history, and cuisine of the Loire before embarking on the long journey.
